Long Island Audit confronted a powerful police union. They made him pay for it.

SeanPaul Reyes (‪@LongIslandAudit‬) went to the headquarters of the Suffolk County Police Benevolent Association to ask a simple question: how is the county spending hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars on police salaries, overtime, pensions, and misconduct settlements? Instead of an answer, he got handcuffed — while backing away from the building and repeatedly saying “I’m leaving.” On this episode of the Police Accountability Report, Taya Graham breaks down the arrest video with Sean Paul Reyes himself, and reporter Stephen Janis lays out exactly what Suffolk County taxpayers are funding. We also look at how the New York Post covered the story, and why “asking questions about tax dollars” turned into a retaliatory arrest, a pinched nerve, a towed truck, and a criminal trespass charge that may not even hold up under New York law.
